ACT Resources

Why should you take the ACT even though colleges are "test optional"?

• Admission into colleges that still require testing

• Used to determine placement of college level classes such as reading, English, and math

• Certain scholarships/programs for colleges depend on it (ex. nursing, honors colleges)
